The local stock market gained some steam last week and ended on a positive note, ranging from 0.8% to 3.2%. The benchmark SOFIX added 3.2% to settle at 956.86, strongly supported by the renewed buying interest in high-tech blue chip Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 42.80, +17.3%).

The Bulgarian stocks ended the week with no clear direction, while the world equity markets recorded a relief rally, easing some of the growing tension over the past months and moving away from extreme pessimism.

The selloff driven by the US’ unprecedented and perplexing tariff plans has liberated many investors of profits this year. Given the fluidity of market conditions, we highlight a number of domestic-focused stocks such as CENT, CD, DFI, HLA, PANU, PROP, RFMD, SSG and SIE as well as Singapore-focused REITS such as CDLHT, FEHT, FCT, KREIT, LREIT and PREIT. In addition, the MAS’ equity market review should inject much needed liquidity in 2H25. We lower our STI target to 3,720 (previously 4,115).
Moderate increase of the weekly turnover did not bring significant price change as SOFIX 910.69 added 0.4% w-o-w while all the other indexes finished the week without change. Absence of corporate news and poor liquidity left a room for speculative trades with big daily fluctuations and insignificant volumes. Risk appetite raised Agria Group Holding (AGH, BGN 22.8, +5.3%) to the top place of the weekly gainers while profit taking placed Gradus (GR6, BGN 1.13, -7.4%) among the top weekly losers. N...
